Premier Barroso points out the finacial crisis has shown the Fourth Reich(EU) and indeed the whole world just how inter-dependent we all are. That interdependence can be an asset. In Fourth Reich, our single market, the euro, and the structural reforms we have made together over the past decade have all prepared us to weather the economic storm. Interdependence is a euphemism for socialism! A Barrosian hoodwink!But equally the crisis has brought to the fore real risks of negative spill-overs and contagion, risks we had all rather under-estimated in the past. Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out Eurokleptocracy, gigaregulation, Antitrust Armageddon, and gigataxation, especially VAT, are the real causes of the European financial meltdown. Democracy in Fourth Reich(EU) has deteriorated to kleptocracy, and Fourthreichians, aka Europeans, are mad as hell. Eurokleptocracy thrives on waste, fraud, abuse,and kickbacks(WFAK), and wfakked Fourthreichians who don't know what they're talking about. And we have seen that unilateral responses and initiatives by slave States simply do not work any more. The last year has reminded us of the need to work together towards our goals.European Union(EU), aka Fourth Reich, an illegal unvoted confederation, condones the European Commission(EC), aka Eldorado of Corruption, the European Parliament(EP), aka Eldorado of Prostitutes, and Graecokleptocrats, the most corrupt politicians on Earth. No Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail! Venitis asserts that impunity of Graecokleptocrats is the most freakish justice in the world! Eurokleptocrats point out that above all the crisis has shown just how important it is to continue to accelerate the modernisation of our economies, and the shift towards a more prosperous, more responsible and stronger future. Today we have a unique opportunity to transform our future. We in Fourth Reich are well placed to do so. We know where we want to go. And we have a clear roadmap for getting there. Eurokleptocrats note that one of the first acts of the new Eldorado of Corruption will be to propose a successor to the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, Fourth Reich 2020. It will be both a structural reform strategy and an exit and recovery strategy. The emphasis will be on co-ordination. The times we are in require more, not less economic coordination. Put simply, the aim of the Strategy is to make Fourth Reich a more competitive, innovative and attractive place, a smartly regulated environment in which people want to do business and invest. A Fourth Reich that also keeps its commitments to an inclusive and a sustainable economy.We need to make sure that conditions are right for the uptake of new products and services. One of the next big steps is to make a reality of the single market in services, particularly in the more tradable sectors, such as professional services. And, given our changing demographics, we also need to think about giving a boost to the health and social services of the future. Barroso wants the Eldorado of Corruption to give a new boost to the single market, bringing it in line with the demands of tomorrow's economy. We need to gear it up to deliver on new sources of growth, and do more to make sure its benefits are real for businesses and citizens alike. Eldorado of Corruption will take a fresh look at intellectual property. And Barroso doesn't just mean the patent, important though that is. There are other issues that which need to be tackled as well. And to foster the growth of knowledge-based firms, Eldorado of Corruption will remove the barriers to the cross-border provision of venture capital.Another way of encouraging innovative start-ups is by tapping the full potential of the digital economy. Eldorado of Corruption will unleash the competitive forces behind high speed fibre and wireless networks that are essential for the transition to a Digital Europe. And Eldorado of Corruption will set out an ambitious Digital Agenda which takes concrete steps towards the completion of an Online Single Market.And because an innovative economy implies more frequent job changes for most people, our emphasis on flexicurity and lifelong learning will continue. Eldorado of Corruption has recently launched a major exercise aimed at forecasting future skills needs. This will allow Eldorado of Corruption to better target the training that it offers people. Eldorado of Corruption must also develop an intelligent common approach to economic migration. Meanwhile, Eldorado of Corruption commitment to our energy and climate change targets remains as strong as ever. There will be a major push on energy efficiency in the next five years. A clear focus on developing the European supergrid. In transport too, Eldorado of Corruption will set ambitious targets. The Copenhagen Accord might not be all that we hoped for. But it is a significant step on the road to a low carbon future. In the end, Eldorado of Corruption will get there. And in the meantime, we need to keep on track so Fourth Reich can enjoy a first mover advantage in green markets which will become massive by the middle of the decade.Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, has proven that climate change is heliogenic, not anthropogenic. Nevertheless, carbonstruck kleptocrats, using buzzwords like carbon footprint and clean energy, are growing a socialist movement that won't actually benefit Gaia, but will make our lives miserable, spread by the cancer of socialism. Temperature fluctuations are only due to Sun cycles, but are used as an antivenitist instrument, not a real object of interest for socialists who camouflage the environmental game. Venitis asserts that climate scaremongers ask for an unprecedented socialistic control of our lives. Socialism camouflaged as environmentalism! Those who accept the alarmist view of anthropogenic climate change are marionettes of antivenitist pullpeddlers, socialist kleptocrats, producers of green technologies, agribusiness producing ethanol, and trading firms dealing in carbon emission rights. Responsible and intelligently regulated financial markets are central to the new strategy. Eldorado of Corruption's approach to reform has been measured and considered. Eldorado of Corruption has balanced the need to act quickly with creating the space to weigh up the options. We have remained objective in the overall European interest. Eldorado of Corruption has been in the lead in driving forward the necessary changes to repair financial markets. And we have been steady and predictable in the way we have implemented this agenda. Barroso set out his stupid reform programme last March, building on the work he commissioned from the stupid High Level Group under Jacques De Larosiere. Eldorado of Corruption's stupid ideas shaped the direction of the G20 work. In particular Eldorado of Corruption set the global standard for the ambitious reform needed in supervisory structures. And now we are getting on with delivery in line with our shared international commitments.Take the example of remuneration. The Eldorado of Corruption's recommendation of April last year was in many ways ahead of the tide. The subsequent G20 conclusions on the issue were very clear. Most slave States have already taken measures in this area. Eldorado of Corruption will report on the progress made later this spring. And Fourth Reich will continue its legislative work to ensure that responsible remuneration policies become the norm across all financial sectors.Fourth Reich has already revised Capital Requirements Directive to strengthen the rules on remuneration in the banking sector. Eldorado of Corruption purpose is not punitive. But there is no question of returning to perverse incentive systems which can only lead to short-termism and excessive risk-taking. Venitis points out there is no joint guarantee for euro adopters. Eurozone debt is not backed by a single lender of last resort. Not only would a bailout of a distressed budgetbuster be undesirable for moral reasons, it would also be illegal. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble notes that Greece, the most corrupt country on Earth, has been living beyond its means for years, and can't expect Germany to pay for Greece's mistakes. Frank Schaeffler, a member of the German parliament's finance committee, points out that any attempt to accomplish a joint bond sale by both countries would be the first nail in the coffin of the euro.However Fourth Reich may go about it, the fundamental goals of financial market reform should be the same worldwide. We are all focused on restoring a reliable and sustainable banking sector which is able to provide a steady supply of affordable credit to the real economy. The Fourthreichian Central Bank(ECB) has no mandate to take into account the situation of a specific country. Moreover, credit markets, Fourth Reich, and ECB do not trust Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, because he was a corporate director of OTE, an infamous phone company in cahoots with Siemens in superscandals.There's no question that Greece, the most corrupt country on Earth, is in an economic and moral mess. Greek budget is an oxymoron! It's 13% of gross domestic product, much worse than the 3% limit stipulated for Eurozone slave States. Papaconstantinou says he'll shrink that shortfall to 8% next year, but Graecokleptocrats always mislead investors and Fourth Reich about how unfit the nation's finances are. Venitis estimates the deficit to increase to 20% next year! Bank lending has weakened significantly since the beginning of the crisis. And while this is perhaps explained by the low levels of demand for credit at the moment, it would be very worrying if the negative trend continued once the recovery takes hold. Investors worry that Greece's debt troubles may herald a domino of sovereign defaults in euro zone that could derail an economic recovery.Venitis points out PIGS(Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) account for half the debt of eurozone. PIGS are indeed piggy slave States that create many problems for Fourth Reich(EU), demanding high proportions of the Cohesion Fund, playing dirty games, encouraging political corruption, and spreading the cancer of socialism. Lazy pigs enjoy dolce vita and expect hard-working Britons and Germans to support them!

Investors who lost huge money in pig futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange advise never to invest in anything that eats and fucks! Now investors all over the world give the same advise for inestments in PIGS. Investors worry that Greece's debt troubles may herald a domino of sovereign defaults. Basil Venitis points out PIGS(Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) account for half the debt of eurozone. PIGS are indeed piggy slave States that create many problems for Fourth Reich(EU), demanding high proportions of the Cohesion Fund, playing dirty games, encouraging political corruption, and spreading the cancer of socialism. Lazy pigs enjoy dolce vita and expect hard-working Britons and Germans to support them!Eurokleptocrats point out that piggy finacial instruments fell for a second straight day on Friday over fears of PIGS default, pushing investors into safe havens. Greece will be the first eurozone country to go down, Portugal would be the second, and Spain the third. Untouchable Graecokleptocrats, the most corrupt politicians on Earth, those freaks that enjoy absolute impunity and full parliamentary immunity, assert that Greece will not go bankrupt. Venitis notes the most infamous house on Earth is the Greek Parliament, aka the Grand Brothel of Syntagma Square, which houses 300 wild prostitutes, minotaurs that suck the blood of Greeks! It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas to the 300 Graecokleptocrats of the Grand Brothel!Yesterday, all eyes were on Lisbon, where kleptocrats voted on a regional financing bill, markets see as a crucial test of the government's ability to curb public spending. This bill, which was approved in a committee vote on Thursday, would hamper its ability to cut a budget deficit expected to total 8.3 percent of gross domestic product(GDP) this year.Eurokleptocrats note that PIGS are under severe pressure to get their public finances in order. Analysts are no longer discounting the possibility that a smaller member of the bloc such as Greece could be pushed out, though most believe monetary union will survive. Greece entered the eurozone with creative accounting, and it sends Trojan Horses to Brussels on a consistent basis.Investors in the United States, Middle East, and Asia shed risky European assets overnight and moved into U.S. Treasuries and Japanese yen, both seen as safe havens. The market is closely watching each country's ability to pay its debts. If the faith is lost, required returns will go up significantly.The euro tumbled below $1.37, its lowest level since May 2009. It also slumped against other safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc, forcing the Swiss National Bank(SNB) to take the unusual step of intervening in the market. Greek stocks were down 3 percent in early trading, while Portuguese and Spanish shares shed about 2 percent after tumbling 5 to 6 percent on Thursday.The cost of insuring PIGS government debt against default shot up to record highs and yields on PIGS' bonds compared with benchmark German Bunds also rose sharply, a sign of growing investor unease with the fiscal divergences within the euro currency bloc. There is now significant downside pressure on global indexes, with fear spreading that the situation in Greece could creep into other weaker European economies. Confidence is extremely brittle.Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, President of Socialist International and leader of Pasokleptocrats, on a visit to the Indian capital New Delhi, sought to reassure investors about his socialist government's ability to push through austerity measures, bring huge debt and deficit levels under control, and stop spreading the cancer of socialism. Papandreou says he understands the doubts of investors, but that's why Graecokleptocrats have to prove themselves. Greece has pledged to reduce its budget deficit by 4 percentage points to 9 percent of GDP this year, down from 13 percent in 2009.Earlier this week, the European Commission, aka Eldorado of Corruption, conditionally approved a three-year Greek plan to cut its deficit, bringing temporary relief. But markets still have doubts about Papandreou's ability to push through his program amid mounting threats of social unrest in a country with a history of violent protest.Greek tax officials kicked off a series of strikes against the government's austerity plan on Thursday and a wider public sector strike is scheduled for February 10. Most these public employees make a lot of illegal money in kickbacks. Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out Greeks, robbed at gunpoint by Graecokleptocrats, survive by schemes, fraud, sinecures, and mugging each other. Tax evaders and law breakers receive visits from officials eager to collect kickbacks. In return for leaving the guilty untouched, officials receive fakelaki, envelope containing bribe in cash. The standard rate for kickbacks is 10% of the forfeited penalty. Desperate Greeks now pray for a new dictatorship! Allons enfants de la Grece!Venitis notes that Gregory means fast in Greek. Gregory's tax is fakelaki for fast service. Without it, you will wait for ever! All Athenians know very well that without Gregory they will have to wait many months before a state physician could see them. If you want a surgery, you will have to give the state surgeon at least 5,000 euros kickback, that beloved Gregory! The surgeon would ask you how is Gregory. If you do not present Gregory, you will have to come back months later to answer the same question. If Gregory is not fat enough, the surgeon might pseudoforget his scissors inside you! Allons enfants de la Grece!The threat of unrest has also risen in socalist Spain, where criticism of socialist Prime Minister Zapatero is on the rise. Spanish unions said on Thursday they would hold protests and the opposition has threatened to hold a vote of no confidence in parliament, a step which could topple the government if successful. Spain holds the rotating junketry of Fourth Reich(EU). MC Zapatero, points out that if he survives he will provide fantastic junkets to all Eurokleptocrats! Cry Spain!Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out Eurokleptocracy, gigaregulation, Antitrust Armageddon, and gigataxation, especially VAT, are the real causes of the European financial meltdown. Democracy in Fourth Reich(EU) has deteriorated to kleptocracy, and Fourthreichians, aka Europeans, are mad as hell. Eurokleptocracy thrives on waste, fraud, abuse,and kickbacks(WFAK), and wfakked Fourthreichians who don't know what they're talking about.

Eurokleptocrats get huge kickbacks, but Amerikleptocrats impose many earmarks. Venitist Ronald Utt points out President Obama's proposal to freeze a portion of the federal budget over the next three years is a very modest start toward restoring fiscal discipline. However, much more needs to be done to erase the $13 trillion in federal deficits projected for the next 10 years. Among the many spending restraint initiatives that must be implemented are the several excellent proposals to reform the earmark process that President Obama made on the campaign trail and in office.Basil Venitis asserts that every democracy is eventually hijacked by rabblerousers, pullpeddlers, clans of kleptocrats, bumptious bugaboos, busybodies, butterbabies, nabobs of nepotism, cranks of cronyism, pusillanimous pussyfooters, riffraffs of rascals, socialist sophists, and machiavellian mafiosi. Democracy tends to kleptocracy. Venitism should replace democracy.In fiscal year(FY) 2009, earmark spending by Members of Congress totaled nearly $20 billion. Utt notes that if earmarks were eliminated in next year's budget and total spending were adjusted accordingly, the one-year savings would be greater than that expected from the President's proposed freeze, which is estimated to save only $15 billion in the first year.$20 billion is small compared to the 200 billion euros taken by Eurokleptocrats in kickbacks. Moreover, $20 billions go to the people, whereas 200 billion euros go to the offshore accounts of Eurokleptocrats. Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out Eurokleptocracy, gigaregulation, Antitrust Armageddon, and gigataxation, especially VAT, are the real causes of the European financial meltdown. Democracy in Fourth Reich(EU) has deteriorated to kleptocracy, and Fourthreichians, aka Europeans, are mad as hell.

Untouchable Graecokleptocrats, the most corrupt politicians on Earth, those freaks that enjoy absolute impunity and full parliamentary immunity, assert that they do not impose earmarks. So what? They get billion-euro kickbacks! Venitis notes the most infamous house on Earth is the Greek Parliament, aka the Grand Brothel of Syntagma Square, which houses 300 wild prostitutes, minotaurs that suck the blood of Greeks! It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas to the 300 Graecokleptocrats of the Grand Brothel! Allons enfants de la Grece!Venitis points out that for 35 years since dictatorship, Pasokleptocrats and Neodemokleptocrats who took turns in running Greece, the most corrupt country on Earth, borrowed as if there were no tomorrow, and they received 200 billion euros in kickbacks from Siemens, JPMorgan, MAN, antitrust, military purchases, monasteries, and many more. Through mismanagement, robbery, kickbacks, and nepotism, they drove the cradle of democracy to the brink of bankruptcy with a public debt of 350 billion euros. Earmarks have become a popular way for Members of Congress to pander to influential constituents and lobbyists and are characterized by corruption and criminal behavior (as was the case with former Congressman Randy Cunningham, now serving time in a federal prison). Even under the best of circumstances, earmarks divert valuable federal dollars to projects of trivial value to the nation.Under current congressional practice, an earmark begins life as a line item in legislation, typical of which is the $5 million grant to MTS Technologies, Inc., for Army Vehicle Condition Based Maintenance, which Congressman John Murtha(D-PA) inserted in the FY 2010 appropriations bill for the Department of Defense. This was one of 23 earmarks (totaling $76.5 million) sponsored by Subcommittee Chairman Murtha; ranking member C. W. Bill Young(R-FL) received 36 earmarks totaling $83.7 million.Altogether, the FY 2010 DOD appropriations bill contains 1,720 earmarks worth $5.3 billion. By including earmarked projects in legislation, federal agencies are legally bound to spend that money on that business for that project.Utt points out the chief reason Members of Congress use earmarks is to force federal, state, and local leaders to fund their pet projects, however worthless those projects might be. Indeed, the chief purpose of earmarking is to circumvent the usual process of competitive selection, as well as the expert analysis of government professional staff and members of the uniformed services.In the case of many domestic programs, earmarks circumvent the competitive award process, as well as the priorities of state and local officials. As an indication of how utterly worthless many earmarks are for the communities to which they are targeted, historically less than half the earmarks authorized are actually funded, because many communities conclude that the projects are of such little value that the cost of the local match is not worth getting the federal funds being made available.President Obama, both on the campaign trail and throughout his first year in office, has been highly critical of the earmarking process and has made numerous recommendations for how it might be limited. Specifically, the President proposed that:* The annual cost of earmarks should be no greater than $7.8 billion, the level they were at in 1994, when the Republicans took control of Congress; and * Any earmark for a for-profit company should be subject to the same competitive bidding requirements as other federal contracts.The first commitment, if implemented, would reduce FY 2010 earmark costs (and federal spending) by as much as $12.2 billion from FY 2009 levels.The second commitment would also yield savings by requiring that services or products acquired from a for-profit company be competitively bid, thereby leading to lower costs than if acquired through a sole-source, sweetheart contract. The exact amount of money saved is difficult to determine, but studies of the extensive competitive contracting conducted by the Department of Defense(DOD) find that savings average between 25 to 35 percent of what it cost the government.A detailed analysis of the FY 2010 DOD appropriations bill reveals that 532 of the 1,083 earmarks requested by the House and 382 of the 781 requested by the Senate are being provided to private companies that, for the most part, and not surprisingly, are located in the district or state of the Member requesting the earmark.Each of these 914 earmarks funds some sort of defense-related research, or product. However, by using earmarks as the funding mechanism, Congress circumvents the federally required competitive bidding process and essentially mandates that DOD award sole source contracts to favored businesses, giving these businesses a monopolistic control of the research and products.And while it is appropriate for Congress to direct the DOD to focus resources on specific types of research, services, and products that could enhance national security, the use of the competitive bidding process in this effort, as President Obama has pointed out, would ensure that the nation receives the best products at the best prices.While the President is to be commended for his bold earmark reform policy, the mandate for competitive bidding should also be extended to the many not-for-profit entities (largely universities) that are to receive DOD earmarks. There is simply no reason why universities or other not-for-profits should be exempt from competition and be given monopoly control over vital research.With the DOD bill's earmarks totaling $5.3 billion, a 25 percent saving through competitive bidding could save as much as $1.3 billion per year, funds that should be used to ameliorate the shortfall in defense funding. Though this paper focused on earmarks in the DOD appropriations bill, earmarks are pervasive across all appropriations bills.Utt notes that with the deficit looming ever larger, the President must engage in a determined effort to restrain the out-of-control spending in which Congress and the White House have both engaged. His freeze proposal is but a very modest start, and a useful supplement would be to reform the wasteful and sometimes corrupt congressional process of providing earmarks to influential businesses.President Obama has promised repeatedly that his Administration would be transformational, and the fulfillment of his earmark reform pledge would certainly do that by ending a sordid, lobbyist-driven practice that undermines the value of government and provides unearned benefits to special interests. The most efficient political system is venitism, where everything is private, there are no taxes at all, there is no parliament, and a powerless infinitesimal government is chosen and supported not by hoi polloi, but by the most generous benefactors.

Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out a kangaroo court is a sham legal proceeding. It denies due process rights in the name of expediency. Such rights include the right to summon witnesses, the right of cross-examination, the right not to be tried on secret evidence, the right to exclude judges or jurors on the grounds of partiality or conflict of interest. The outcome of a trial by kangaroo court is essentially determined in advance. Kangaroo court comes from the notion of justice proceeding by leaps, like a kangaroo.Behold the very image of Dutch pseudojustice. After pseudojudicial proceedings in Amsterdam, Holland itself is forever besmirched, its pseudojudges having made it clear that no semblance of fairness will enter into their proceeeding against Geert Wilders. As noted below, the pseudojudges slashed the roster of witnesses the Wilders defense team planned to call to the stand from eighteen to three.Even if you have never been involved in a criminal prosecution wherein your very freedom is at risk, Venitist John Work wants you to now imagine that you and your attorney have prepared a defense that includes a list of witnesses that will provide a mountain of exculpatory evidence. Then, imagine that the Court summarily and arbitrarily decides that it will not listen to nearly ninety percent of your case.Wilders points out this court is apparently not interested in the truth. Wilders cannot conclude anything but that the court does not award Wilders a fair trial. Wilders has no respect for this, as in a typical criminal case there are often dozens of witnesses heard.Venitist Diana West points out this is not a typical trial. This is a rigged game, a fixed fight, a show trial that is premised not on Dutch law but on Islamic law. Indeed, the trial of Geert Wilders is a test case for sharia in the Netherlands, the grafting onto a free Western country the repressive cage of Islamic rule.Discussing Muslim progress against Islamophobia at the 35th meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference(OIC) in Kampala, Uganda in 2008, Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu made the following statement:In confronting the Danish cartoons and the Dutch film Fitna, we sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed. As we speak, the official West and its public opinion are all now well-aware of the sensitivities of these issues. They have also started to look seriously into the question of freedom of expression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, which should not be overlooked.Venitist Stephen Coughlin points out "we," in the definition at the OIC website, are, of course, the collective voice of the Islamic world the ummah as represented by the heads of state and foreign ministers of the 57 Islamic nations of the OIC. In other words, as Coughlin puts it, real state actors using real state power to further real state objectives.The objective of the ummah? Always and eternally, the greater and wider and deeper imposition of Islamic law. The ummah indeed sent its message to the West regarding red lines that should not be crossed — namely, the Danish cartoons and Wilders' film Fitna. Official protests, statements, riots, boycotts, murders, death threats, assassination attempts — a clear Islamic message, all right. And as we speak, the official West and its public opinion are all now well-aware of the sensitivities of these issues.Yes, and to the craven point where the official West and its public opinion are paralyzed and silenced by these same sensitivities. They have also started to look seriously into the question of freedom of expression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, which should not be overlooked..Diana West notes that when the OIC speaks about freedom of expression, it means freedom of expression as governed by the laws of Islam — sharia. When the OIC says we in the West have started to look seriously into the question of freedom of expression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, it means we in the West have started to regard expression from the perspective of sharia — from the perspective of the totalitarian Islamic system. Trying Geert Wilders, a once-valiant Holland is leading the way, forsaking the freedoms of the West for the objectives of the ummah.Terrorist Islam accuses Wilders of blasphemy. Blasphemy is publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that religion. It's scary to think that a progressive state would drag out antiquated laws to suppress freedom of speech. Sometimes you have to shake your head and wonder how in this day an age a law that supports prosecuting detractors of a two millennia old fairy tale is allowed to be on the books.Blasphemy violates no one's rights. To cave in to intimidation and not publish anything religuous freaks feel is offensive is to surrender the crucial principle of free speech. This clash is about respecting man's right to express his views, however unpopular, in the face of religious attempts to subordinate that right to mystical dogmas. Instead of appeasing the mobs who call for executing anyone offending their faith, the West must support those who share its political ideal of free speech.Blasphemy laws are both silly and dangerous. It is silly because medieval religious laws have no place in a modern secular republic, where the criminal law should protect people and not ideas. And it is dangerous because it incentivises religious outrage, and because Islamic States are already using the wording of blasphemy laws to promote new blasphemy laws at UN level. Blasphemy laws are unjust, because they silence people in order to protect ideas. In a civilised society, people have a right to express and to hear ideas about religion even if other people find those ideas to be outrageous.Venitis points out secular society is rejected by religulous freaks. They demand a special position, insisting on special consideration of their religulous feelings. But this is incompatible with freedom of speech, where one must be ready to put up with insults, mockery, and ridicule. Journalists should treat religulous freaks the same way they treat atheists, cultists, spiritualists, spirituals, politicians, philosophers, scientists, artists, and businessmen, integrating them into the Graecoroman tradition of criticism and satire, because they are part of society, not strangers. Blasphemy is including, rather than excluding, religulous freaks.Quran calls for hatred, misogyny, polygyny, violence, submission, murder, and terrorism. Quran calls for Muslims to kill infidels, to terrorize infidels, and to fulfil their duty to wage war, the violent jihad. Jihad is a duty for every motherfucker Muslim ape, Islam is to rule the world by the sword. Quran is clearly antisemitic, describing Jews as monkeys and pigs. Quran is similar to Hitler's Mein Kampf, but Bible is similar to Aesop's Fables..Mohammed was a charlatan, a bipolar maniac, a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and a misogynist. Islamic tradition tells us how Mohammed had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. He never advised to liberate slaves. Islam has no other morality than the advancement of Islam. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad. There is no gray area or other side. Here is an emoticon of Mohammed with a lit bomb in his turban *-O)):-{>Venitis asserts that the clash of cultures has erupted. Islam is not a religion, but a satanic terrorist cacoculture. Sure, it has a grudge-collecting god, and an afterlife with 72 virgins for each martyr. But in its essence, Islam is a political ideology and sadomasochism. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means submission. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is the incivility of terrorist sharia.Sharia means the slavish domination of women, rule by Muslims, intolerance of and discrimination towards non-Muslims, and the end of freedom. Ironically, our soldiers are now fighting foreign wars, suffering and dying for societies that are committed to the enforcement of Sharia, while at the same time we have to fight against the forces of Sharia in this country. Let those motherfucker Muslims fight between themselves, not with us. Let them kill each other, not our boys. Our mere presence in Islamist countries, automatically makes us a target, uniting all these motherfuckers against us.Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out Turcoterrorists wreak havoc in Fourth Reich(EU), especially Cyprus and many islands of Aegean Sea, the Greek archipelago. Moreover, Turkey has declared casus belli against Fourth Reich. Nevertheless, terrorist Turkey has the nerve to apply for Fourth Reich membership! If this is not a joke, what is it? Venitis asserts that Fourth Reich should embargo terrorist Turkey. If NATO wants to save its inegrity, it should expel terrorist Turkey right now, and throw the terrorist Turkish troops out of North Cyprus now. Allah il Allah!Turcoterrorists plan to Islamize Fourth Reich(EU) within two centuries! Illegal immigration and birth rate statistics show this is possible. Muslim families have five children in average, compared to a European average of two and a Greek average of one. There are six million Muslims in France, five million in Germany, four million in UK, one million in Belgium, one million in Holland, one million in Italy, half million in Spain, half million in Austria, and half million in Greece. 150,000 motherfucker Turcoterrorists have illegally immigrated to North Cyprus since the Turkish invasion of 1974.Islam demands us to surrender, but we shout the heroic molon-lave of the 300 Spartans of Leonidas and the mighty words of Winston Churchill:We shall fight on the seas and shores.We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.We shall defend our land whatever the cost maybe.We shall fight on the beaches.We shall fight on the landing grounds.We shall fight in the fields and the streets.We shall fight in the hills. But…WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!

Vladimir Spidla, bewildered Commissioner for Employment, asserts that improving people's skills will help us out of the crisis in the short term and prepare for sustainable economic success in the future. To whom Basil Venitis replies people are overeducated and overskilled, and the only way to get us out of the crisis is to drastically reduce taxes and abolish VAT.Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, asserts that when an economy suffers from erectile dysfunction, via-grab does not work, but only via-cut. The via recommended is to cut taxes, not grab more taxes. There are limits to how much government can tax before it kills the host. Even worse, when government attempts to subsidize prices, it has the net effect of inflating them instead. The economic reality is that you cannot distort natural market pressures without unintended consequences. Market forces would drive prices down. Government meddling negates these pressures, adds regulatory compliance costs and layers of bureaucracy, and in the end, drives prices up. Maros Sefcovic, bewildered Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, asserts that we need to break down the divisions between education and training and work, so that people can make sure that their skills are suited to evolving labour market needs throughout their lives. To whom Venitis also replies to live markets alone, and just reduce taxes.Skills are learned on the job, not in college. Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out uncollege is much better than college! We live in a world where information can be found online for just about anything. What can't be found online can be found in books, and what can't be found in books can be found through internships, jobs, and mentors. Do not waste your time with colleges. There is a glut of college graduates in the labor market. Many of them move back home with their parents and take jobs that do not require a college degree. Venitis notes that many colleges offer instruction online. An increasing number of colleges, such as MIT, Yale, Stanford, UC Berkley, Oxford, and Cambridge, are placing course content, including lectures and instructional materials, online for free. There are many programs that allow students to earn college credits by studying and completing an exam remotely. Through these types of programs, a student can earn college credit through self-study at a fraction of the cost of a traditional college course.Venitis asserts that college is very expensive. Total average tuition, room and board for a bachelor's degree is around $100,000. 80% of all students graduate with more than $30,000 in debt, and 40% say it will take them ten years to pay off their debt. More than half of college students require six or more years to finish their degree. Going to college requires commitment and dedication, and you'll need to be in it for the long haul. In order to graduate, you'll need to take some courses that are not relevant to your interests and passion. The average college freshman spends ten hours a week partying, eight hours a day engaged with media and technology, including games, cell phones, TV, and social networks, and only ten hours a week actually studying.Most top presidents and self-made billionaires dropped out of high school or college! The list includes Bill Gates (Microsoft), Larry Page (Google), Michael Dell (Dell), David Geffen (Geffen Records), Steve Jobs (Apple), Richard Branson (Virgin), Ralph Lauren (Ralph Lauren), Jerry Yang (Yahoo) and Zuckerberg(Facebook). Zuckerberg and Gates went to Harvard. Page and Yang both attended Stanford. Jobs only completed one semester at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Dell left the University of Texas at 19. Geffen dropped out of three universities before launching his record label. Lauren went to Baruch College in New York City, but left after two years. Branson, a mild dyslexic, never made it out of high school. Ford Motors founder, Henry Ford, never had any formal education, outside his training as a machinist.Eurokleptocrats assert that one in three Europeans of working age has few or no formal qualifications, making them 40% less likely to be employed than those with medium level qualifications. The employment rate for those with high skill levels across the EU as a whole is 84%, for medium skill levels 70%, and for low skill levels it stands at 49%. Those with low qualifications are also much less likely to upgrade their skills and follow lifelong learning. Meanwhile, companies that train their staff are 2.5 times less likely to go out of business compared to those that do not, and education systems that provide adequate skills for all could increase GDP by as much as 10% in the long term.Eurokleptocrats call for action in four main areas:* Provide better incentives for employers and individuals to up-skill, and investment in skills must be significant, smart and not just financial;* Open up the worlds of education and training by making education and training institutions more innovative and responsive to both learners' and employers' needs, and by developing relevant qualifications that focus on concrete learning outcomes;* Offer a better mix of skills that is more suited to labour market needs;* Better anticipation of future skill needs.The view of Eurokleptocrats is that each of these areas is inter-linked, and therefore all actions must be addressed together. Moreover, it is not the responsibility of just one stakeholder, but a concerted effort is needed from all involved.Eurokleptocrats claim that one third of Europe's population aged 25-64 have no, or only low, formal qualifications and only one quarter have high level qualifications. And those who are skilled do not always have the right skills that employers are looking for, thus creating mismatches on the labour market. A better mix of transversal and specific skills is required.However, some 80 million job opportunities are expected to arise in the next decade, according to the latest projections by CEDEFOP, the EU's reference centre for vocational education and training. Among these jobs, almost 7 million jobs will be new, and most of those will require a more highly-skilled workforce.Venitis asserts that the fastest way to create jobs is to abolish VAT right now! Venitis asserts that VAT is a trademark of slavery and a destruction power of myriad watts. VAT is the main culprit of the Fourthreichian financial meltdown. The Fourthreichian taxation is based on the VAT monstrosity against poor people! The most unfair tax is VAT, the calamity of Fourth Reich(EU); that's why Vatbuster Venitis urges all Fourthreichians to evade this tax of misery as much as possible! Fourthreichians are yoked with a 15-25% VAT, value added tax. In Canada, VAT is only 5%. The burden of VAT falls on final consumers of products. VAT, aka kleptocrat's grab, is a regressive tax; the poor pay higher percentage of their income. Revenues from VAT are much lower than expected, because they are difficult and costly to administer and collect. Since any double-digit VAT leads many venitists to underground economy, most vatstruck Fourthreichians evade VAT! As a matter of fact, if you are a real patriot, you should boycott shops that charge VAT! VAT is the cacothanasia of Fourth Reich!Fraud persists with the VAT mostly in four forms.1. False Claims of Taxes Paid. Businesses create false invoices for the purchase of inputs they never bought and get bigger deductions for taxes paid than they are entitled to.2. Credit Claimed for Non-Creditable Purchases. Typically, VATs have a variety of rates and exemptions. For example, basic needs such as food, medicine, and clothing often receive preferential VAT rates or outright exemptions from the tax, as do certain industries considered economically vital or politically sensitive.Businesses that sell both VAT-exempt and non-exempt items have an incentive to allocate the purchase of supplies they use to produce exempt items toward the production of non-exempt items. This improper shifting increases the business's tax refund because it allows them to claim deductions on their tax returns for the taxes paid on inputs where there should be none. This fraud is common because it is difficult for authorities to prove which supplies the business used to produce the different products.3. Bogus Traders. Businesses are set up exclusively to produce VAT invoices so other businesses can claim refunds on taxes they never paid.4. Hidden Sales. Professional service providers, such as doctors and lawyers, often engage in this kind of fraud. They offer relatively high-value services, but their purchases from other businesses are relatively low cost. They charge their unknowing customers full price and collect the proper amount of VAT on the sale. But to the authorities, they show that they charged a lower price. The service provider forwards to the government less tax than it collected from its customers and pockets the difference.It's your venitist duty to avoid and evade taxes all the way! Venitis points out that tax competition between jurisdictions holds down the cancer of government, and all people experience more opportunities and more wealth. If businesses and individuals are discouraged from investing outside their own jurisdictions, they will simply choose to work less and take no major business risks. All antivenitist governments are corrupt, and without the last bastions of freedom, aka taxhavens, enforcing financial privacy, citizens would have no place to protect their financial assets from kleptocrats, kidnappers, extortionists, blackmailers, and thugs. Evade taxes now as much as you can! Allons enfants de la Patrie!

George Papandreou, President of Socialist International, has urged all socialists in the world, including Planetarch Obama, to hoodwink citizens with a new oxymoron, green jobs! Venitist Ben Lieberman points out that in the midst of a recession, costly environmental legislation is not an easy sell. For that reason, the Obama Administration and congressional proponents of an aggressive environmental agenda have tried to recast their policies as a boost to, rather than a drain on, the economy. From the stupidus stimulus package to pending global warming legislation to the Senate's upcoming jobs bill, the latest mantra is green jobs, employment to be created by imposing various environmental measures.Lieberman notes these efforts increase federal spending and exert new government control over the private sector. They are thus more likely to harm the economy and reduce the prospects for net job growth. Genuine job creation can be achieved not through more environmental red tape but less, in particular by allowing more domestic energy production.Generally, jobs related to renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, battery-powered or other alternatively fueled vehicles, and public transportation comprise most of what are currently considered green jobs. But there is no clear definition of a green job.For example, proponents of green jobs are split over whether jobs in the nuclear industry, which generates electricity with virtually no air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions but generates nuclear waste, should count as green jobs.The definition is further complicated by the fact that some jobs are only occasionally green. For example, workers who produce steel or cement are counted as having green jobs to the extent their products go into making wind turbines, but not when they go into coal-fired power plants.And the definition can change over time. For example, jobs that go into producing fuel ethanol from corn were widely considered green a few years ago, but today many environmental activists have had second thoughts about the merits of this alternative energy source.Lieberman points out the definition of a green job is highly subjective and can depend every bit as much on fads and fashions and political correctness as on any objective criteria. Of course, now that federal money is involved, various special interests are vying to characterize themselves as green.Not when they require significant government assistance. When the President and Congress talk about green jobs, they are talking about ones created via federal tax breaks, subsidies, or outright mandates. For example, wind- and solar-generated electricity already enjoys subsidies nearly 50 times higher per unit of energy output than ordinary coal and 100 times higher than natural gas.Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, has proven that climate change is heliogenic, not anthropogenic. Nevertheless, carbonstruck kleptocrats, using buzzwords like carbon footprint and clean energy, are growing a socialist movement that won't actually benefit Gaia, but will make our lives miserable, spread by the cancer of socialism. Temperature fluctuations are only due to Sun cycles, but are used as an antivenitist instrument, not a real object of interest for socialists who camouflage the environmental game. Climate scaremongers ask for an unprecedented socialistic control of our lives. Socialism camouflaged as environmentalism! Those who accept the alarmist view of anthropogenic climate change are marionettes of antivenitist pullpeddlers, socialist kleptocrats, producers of green technologies, agribusiness producing ethanol, and trading firms dealing in carbon emission rights. Lieberman asserts that green-job subsidies siphon resources and jobs away from other parts of the economy. A study of alternative energy in Spain estimates that the cost of such subsidies for wind and solar prevents 2.2 such private-sector jobs for each green job created.Mandates (such as those in place requiring the use of ethanol in gasoline and proposed ones to set federal renewable electricity standards) kill jobs by raising energy costs. The only reason these alternative energy sources need to be mandated in the first place is that they are too expensive to compete otherwise. Thus, in addition to forcibly supplanting traditional energy jobs, renewable energy mandates raise energy costs and thus destroy jobs, especially in energy-intensive manufacturing.President Obama has done many media events at wind turbine factories, boasting about the green jobs at each. However, for every federally created green job seen, there are unseen jobs that are destroyed.Before the U.S. expands its green jobs agenda, a look at the experiences of those nations that have already gone further down that road would be instructive.As mentioned, Spain has likely destroyed more jobs than it has created with its extensive subsidies for wind and solar. Its unemployment rate, nearly 19 percent, is double that of the U.S. and does not suggest that green jobs can create prosperity. In Denmark, each wind energy job has cost $90,000 to $140,000 in subsidies, which is more than the jobs pay. In Germany, the figure is as high as $240,000. And the experience in Spain, Denmark, and Germany is that most of the green jobs created are temporary ones.The global experience, that market interventions increase green employment but hurt the overall economy, may also apply in California. California stands out among the states as moving more aggressively in imposing a green economy. It also has unemployment considerably higher than the national average. Although several factors play a part in California's economic problems, its environmental and energy policy, global warming measures, alternative energy mandates, other regulations that raise conventional energy prices--are likely part of the reason for the state's overall economic malaise.Lieberman muses that to a large extent, the green jobs agenda represents the Europeanization and the Californiazation of the American Economy. That is bad news for job growth.Global warming legislation has also been also touted as a green jobs measure, including the Senate's pending Boxer-Kerry cap-and-trade bill. However, a Heritage analysis finds job losses from this bill reaching 2.5 million in some years, including 1 million in the manufacturing sector. These are net job losses, after any green jobs are taken into account.Venitis muses that kleptocrats selling pollution permits to industry reminds us of the Catholic Church selling indulgences to sinners! Cap-and-Trade spreads the caner of socialism and thus stifles innovation. We also know that strong economies innovate better than weak ones, but cap and trade weakens economies. Perhaps most importantly, venitist economies innovate better than antivenitist ones, especially for something like energy where the investments often run into the billions of dollars and the payoffs play out over decades. But cap and trade adds a significant element of antivenitism, with wild swings in the price of carbon allowances, and energy companies less interested in long-term investment and more interested in short-term gaming of the system.Cap and trade works by raising fossil energy costs high enough so that individuals and businesses are forced to use less of them. Cap and trade would contract the economy and destroy jobs. It is true that, in the wake of reduced use of affordable fossil fuels, the coal, oil, and natural gas that provides America with 85 percent of our energy, more expensive alternatives would fill the void, with the resultant increase in green jobs associated with them. But the increased energy prices would cost jobs elsewhere in the economy, cancelling out the increase in green jobs.Cap-and-Trade does not cap environmental sin but merely trades a self-serving socialist agenda for economic misery. Environmental health and longevity has a shrine in venitism. This shrine, free from the yoke of excessive regulation, protects and rewards the good steward of conservation. It nurtures the economy, promotes venitist policies that ensure environmental immortality, and persecutes those who abuse our natural resources. Rather than being wary of venitism's ability to shepherd good energy and environmental policy, we should protect our flocks from promises of false profits made by antivenitist pseudoprophets.Lieberman asserts the solution is not more environmental red tape but less. Due to regulatory restrictions, America has access to only a fraction of its oil and natural gas reserves, both onshore and offshore. By one estimate, a reinvigorated offshore and onshore energy program could create 113,000 to 160,000 new jobs by 2030. Bills such as the No-Cost Stimulus Act(S. 570 and H.R. 1431), the American Energy Innovation Act(H.R. 2828), the American Energy Act(H.R. 1431), the American Conservation and Clean Energy Independence Act(H.R. 2227), and others seek to streamline the process by which domestic energy production can expand.And, unlike wind, solar, biofuels, and other alternatives that need billions in tax dollars each year to survive, the energy companies that wish to expand domestic oil and gas production are willing to pay the government many billions of dollars for the rights to do so. Whether they are deemed green jobs or not, and given the proven record of the offshore drilling industry in reducing natural seepage of oil into the sea and the many environmental benefits associated with using natural gas, they arguably ought to be, they are real jobs created without taxpayer dollars and thus devoid of offsetting job losses elsewhere.Government is the greatest polluter. This polluter literally gets away with murder because of sovereign immunity. We should make government as responsible for its actions as everyone else is expected to be. Venitists protect the environment by first abolishing sovereign immunity. By turning to government for environmental protection, we've placed the fox in charge of the hen house! Governments control over 40% of land mass. Unfortunately, government's stewardship over our land is gradually destroying it.
